When I read a good book, I tend to really get into it. I take notes, underline, and star the parts that wow me. By the end, I feel like the author is my best friend and we’ve just had a great conversation.
It’s the same way when I hear a good story or podcast. It’s like something gets ignited in me, and I want to share!
Like the game of telephone, there are so many ways to deliver or process the information received. One person might tell more people, while another might digest it through art or journaling, or by making personal changes in their behavior. There are so many possibilities!
That’s how we stay connected—by passing on ideas, notes, thoughts. We learn from and inspire others.
Whatever you pass on doesn’t have to be your own original idea, uniquely born out of your consciousness. It will be unique by the very way you deliver the message, bridging your interpretation to someone who might benefit.
What things do you decide to pass on? Recipes? Family traditions? Spiritual experiences? Gossip? Your thoughts or feelings?
When I reflect on this, I am reminded that we each have such a powerful gift to spread joy, kindness, information, support, or entertainment to others.
Once you’ve identified the types of things you tend to pass on, I invite you to see how that relates to your identity, values, or sense of purpose. Something to chew on… The process of passing it on. The content of what you pass on. And how it all connects to the bigger picture.
Thanks for reading, and if you like it—feel free to pass it on!
